Tula Pink is coming to my neck o' the woods, Winston-Salem, NC, on Wednesday, June 6! And I have a ticket to attend her talk that evening!
In honor of the event, I made this quilt. The fabrics are from Tula's line "Parisville", which was inspired by Marie Antoinette. As Marie is rumored to have replied when told the peasants could not afford bread, "Let them Eat Cake", so I have titled this quilt "Eat More Cake". The pattern is from Karen Gray, a variation of her "Pave the Way". Such a fun and easy pattern. I love how quickly it goes together, and shows off the fabrics.
I free-motion quilted it in an organic, flowing pattern. The thread is a 50wt cotton quilting thread in beige.
The back is made from 2 of the Parisville patterns, simply pieced.
I am hoping to show Tula!
